I would like to disconnect a network drive (Y:) with powershell. That drive letter is assigned / mapped to a network location. Is there a simple way to do that?
I believe "net use XXX /delete" would do that.
The problem is:
C:\Windows>net use
New connections will be remembered.
Status Local Remote Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK Y: \\192.168.1.108\d Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.
why when I try:
C:\Windows>net use \\192.168.1.108\d /del
I get:
C:\Windows>net use \\192.168.1.108\d /del
The network connection could not be found.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2250.

In powershell you could issue a set of commands like this to disconnect a drive, given only the UNC that you used to connect, and not knowing the drive letter that was mapped.
The tricky part is that you have to escape the
\character to use it in the WMI query.
